That is so gorgeous (and, so is beautiful Ivy, of course)! I am so impressed by your talent, Steph! I'm even more impressed that you actually made something you pinned. I've pinned a lot, but I don't think I've actually made one thing yet. Whoops!

Stunning. I must know - is there a special technique you use to keep your children from using your knitting needles as swords? Because we have trouble with empty paper towel rolls and chopsticks at my house... I'm not courageous enough to bring knitting needles across my threshold. But this cape? Makes me ache to change my mind.

Ok, I have to ask: how long have you been knitting? Because I just started a couple of days ago, and that ADORABLE little cape looks about as easy as building a car out of cardboard and potatoes. Please tell me it gets easier, and I will soon have more to show for my efforts than some little squares!

I've been knitting about 7 years now or so and it DOES get so much easier! I did take a few classes at the local yarn shop that really helped me get a good grasp on reading patterns. And then just go for it! You will surprise yourself. :)
